The Best Transportation System Selection with Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (Fuzzy MADM) Case Study: Iran Persian Gulf Tunnel

摘要

Transportation system selection is one of the most important decisions in tunnel advancement and development. A lot of can have a roll in tunnel transportation system selection, such as technical factors, e.g. production, haulage distance, ground condition, flexibility, utilization and economical factors, operational cost, investment and development and Safety. Thus fuzzy set theory, with considering the usable transportation system, e.g., truck, rail and belt conveyer, is using for a proper method selection. In this research used the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, for calculating weight criteria and alternative ranking. In the end of assessment, truck transportation system, with the highest membership grade, 0.3877, is selected as the best transportation system for tunnel boring.
